A lady from N Power knockec on my door this evening at 6pm.


Despite repeatedly telling me she was not selling my anything, the large N Power bag and sales chat gave it away (I am in sales, so it was a dead giveaway anyway). I told her on numerous occasions I would not sign anything without the other residents being present. However, she continued to fill out the contract and push for me to sign. She even wanted to come in, use my laptop, and tell me that they are cheaper on 'U-Switch'. She claimed she would be coming back at 7, so I have taken refuge in the pub!

"and then they came back an hour later - the same guy"


NEVER do a runner as they will always return as the situation is inconclusive and they still have a chance of a Sale!


Tell him/her straight in future I AM NOT INTERESTED(assuming that you are not Sean:)))....I tell them that I get a good deal as my Darling Dad works for an Electric Company.

Well he did... but he died in 1971.

After asking her to repeat everything she'd blurted out as I opened the front door - because I hadn't understood a word she'd said in her strong east European accent - I just asked the woman who she was representing and when she told me it was NPower I just said I wasn't interested. She went away.

A cute French woman being quite persistent. Sounds like the old man might have wanted to sign up to something.

Not that I'm trying to cause a rift in the lute. Ignore me, I'm being silly.

I'd advise you to go with St Andrews, I hear the caddies are nutters, and as for some of the bar stewards...

  • 4 weeks later...

My bf worked for these people for a couple of weeks - no basic pay, just commission. I told him they were dodgy and he shouldn't bother - but anyway, he made four sales in that time and is due a massive ?30 for each sale and has been told he has to wait three months to be paid, after having to complain to the big boss as his team leader said he wasn't due any money at all.


The company who recruit all the sales people and who are responsible for their training and pay are called 'Eclectic Marketing'


They should be reported to somebody - not sure who - but they are awful.

Chav & Dez (?), thanks for letting me know these companies are a shower of bastards.

I just used to listen to their old 'Rabbit', an' 'ave it.

Until you piped up, I thought they were charitable foundations, dedicated to the common good.

I'll be wary of them in future.

Thanks.

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
    • You've got a point.  Thinking Leyland and Screwfix too but this felt different.
